The Century Girls

2018 marks the centenary of some British women getting the vote and The Century Girls features six women who have lived through ten decades of staggering changes. Edna 102 was a domestic servant. Helena 101 was the eldest of eight from a Welsh farming family. Olive 102 was a child of empire in British Guiana and one of the first women to migrate to London after the war. There's Ann a 103-year-old London bohemian; 100-year-old Phyllis daughter of the Raj; and finally 'young' Joyce - a 99-year-old Cambridge classicist. Through the prism of these women's lives The Century Girls provides a personal account of British history over the past 100 years.
